Self Sufficient

This past week has been a lot of fun and very rewarding. I finally got a hold of this book from my local library. And it did not disappoint. The authors are completely accurate in saying five minutes a day. My first batch was whipped up in 15 minutes flat. Over the next several days we had four loaves of bread, all taking 5 minutes each to prepare. And SO delicious. So good. We are trying another kind of bread currently and it is also very yummy and took the same amount of time. Very quick and very good. Can't thank Jill enough for the reference!!

I always meant to get a picture, but so far we have been eating the bread faster than I can remember. The other day Taylor went to get James some regular bread and James said, "No, I want the good bread." Totally worth your time to investigate and try!

Also this week a friend (and ward emergency preparedness specialist) honored my request to be taught, or I guess retaught, how to can peaches. Yesterday 6 or 7 women got together and spent five hours canning 48 jars of peaches. Yum!

It's times like these when I wish I lived 100 years ago. But then, how would I blog about it?
